Christmas Spirit

Three things happened this week that have given me the Christmas spirit. First, Oldest played Joseph in his nursery's nativity. He was absolutely adorable and I loved seeing how much confidence he has that he was able to do that on his own, and jump in with extra bits when the teacher was reading out the story of baby Jesus. I am such a proud mom.

Then, this morning it started to snow. First it was just itty bitty amounts, then quite big snowflakes. I hope it sticks so the boys and I can make snowmen later on. I love snow. Oldest and I ran around a bit in a nearby field before I had to drop him off. Littlest is at his Nana's today, I hope he's enjoying it just as much!

And finally, almost instead of lunch, we made gingerbread cookies. I'm not the biggest fan of ginger at all, but I heart gingerbread cookies. They almost epitomise Christmas. And they were easy and fun to make. I've included the recipe.

How fabulous that Oldest was Joseph, that must have been lovely to see. Also you have snow, I am so jealous. We are meant to get it before the weekend, so fingers crossed. I am hoping for a White Christmas.

Things are looking mighty festive at your place! Oldest looks very handsome and strong as Joseph--perfect!

I finally got in the spirit a few days ago. Finishing most of the shopping is usually when it hits me: moving from preparation to celebration! Cookies (and the accompanying sugar rush) are also helpful.
